It's true that good looking people get more attention as well as help and interest. They get more opportunities in the job interview more than other candidates.

01:52 As if having more "friends", getting more attention, and strangers treating you nicely was AMAZING. Those "friends" are probably fake and only want something from you, the same goes for strangers. And getting more attention is good for who, exactly? Only for the needy ones, which is pathetic. I personally hate being stared at, it's uncomfortable as fuck. And having real friends is almost impossible (though I couldn't care less about this at this point in my life). Men will want to be with you only for something else and women will most likely hate you because they're insecure and your presence bothers them. Also, if you're a fuckin psycho, narcissist, or whatever and you're pretty, you will attract people more easily which is PERFECT for you but not for them, of course. People even adore murderers only for their looks despite all the fucked up shit they've done. So, pretty "privilege" is not a privilege, it's just another superficial shit society invented and it seems to be no good for anyone.

Being pretty is only attractive someone at first sight, what keeps everyone's attention on you is your kindness, your attitude, your words. A pretty word is the word where everyone helps the others and knows how to think to not make the others unhappy. At this age, a handsome boy doesn't matter to me 🤣🤣 Btw, I really like your channel, keep up the good work 😘😘

I have external beauty, but my introverted personality destroys my appearance and causes me to lose many opportunities in my life, and this is something that bothers me constantly.

I think being pretty is not a privilege because I believe that the most attractive things in a person are their ethics and their real behavior. If someone is pretty but interacts poorly with others and does not respect them, their beauty, in my eyes, changes to ugliness. I'm thankful to you for discussing this topic.💜🌹

Most people have addressed that beauty is highly subjective, it varies across the world, often related to cultural factors and preferences leading to any sort of discrimination, and it's all in the eyes of the beholder. We consider someone attractive or good-looking when we naturally directly see their face, the most evident part of someone's appearance. And I also agree with everything discussed in this episode. So, therefore, having a pretty face can be a significant aspect of why one is treated or befriended in a particular way just because of their physical attractiveness and some other characteristics.

Yes, being beautiful is a privilege. As explained, there are many benefits that come with being beautiful. But I think if you are only physically beautiful then your standards will continue to be insufficient. Physical beauty can be lost due to age. But being beautiful from the heart will continue to provide its own charm. Many are beautiful but not attractive. And maybe being attractive is more of a privilege. Because being attractive gives a different value than just being beautiful.

Yeah pretty privilage is real, sometimes make us feel insecure😢. Actually i dont care about this one but i have bad experience on it🤧. And that when i was on junior high school, where pretty student more get loved and best treetment from teacher🥺

@LEP-LearnEnglishPodcast Ай бұрын

'm sorry to hear about your experiences; it can be really tough to deal with feelings of insecurity, especially during formative years like junior high. It's important to remember that your value isn't determined by appearance. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and kindness. I hope you find supportive communities that value you for who you are. 🌟💖

I have 2 colleagues, one is good looking and the second one is not-really-beauty, the second one is really good at work, she know more about our job more than the good-looking one but our company did not renew her contracts and choose to renewed the good-looking contracts even though she have no background about our job and not that good to her job.

i'm so agree with the opinion that said "if u pretty, it's everything seem so easy" bcs i lived in around this situation. if u not pretty enough, don't expect u'll get so much attention from other people.

For me, as a person who has been treated with pretty privilege, I have to say I hate it. In my place, if you are pretty, other women will easily get jealous of you and tend to get you into trouble. This situation will be the opposite when it comes to men. 😊

It is an interesting topic to talk about and discuss it. Friendship and mainly romantic relationship are widely affected for the people beauty, in fact even the sex is related with pretty of your love partner, because you can not be excited for someone who you don't feel atract for. It's a harsh problem to solve, if it has some solution.

I strongly believe that being good-looking is a kind of talent. In fact, it is extremely hard not to be attracted by people with attractive physical appearance. The fact is that not everybody was born with beauty. Many people also have to make a lot of effort to have good looks, which shows that they value their bodies and constantly improve themselves to become better versions. That is the reason why I extremely admire them. I admit that personality and behaviors are important and there are some people with good appearance but poor behaviors and ethics but there are also many people out there who have neither attractive looks nor good personalities so why don't we strive to enhance both our external and internal beauty. Even if you are not beautiful enough to get pretty privilege, at least you are better today than you were yesterday.

I believe pretty previlige is real! I had been overweight during my childhood.Despite being an overachiever I wasn't 'that confident' because I felt people notice the 1st thing as me being fat. Eventually I lost weight . Now in my early twenties I am not that exceptional worker but I still feel satisfied/ confident that atleast I look good, since it's particularly imp for girls.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's understandable how physical appearance can impact confidence and the way others perceive us, which is often referred to as "pretty privilege." It's great to hear that you feel more confident now, but remember that your value extends far beyond appearances. Your talents, achievements, and unique qualities are what truly define you. It's important to find confidence in these aspects as well, as they contribute to who you are in significant ways. Keep embracing all parts of yourself and continue to build your confidence from within. You have much to offer, and your worth is not solely determined by how you look.

Pretty privilege is more about how lucky you are to have a pretty face than your behavior and innerself. The majority of people is looking to opt the most attractive partner to look at, especially when it comes to women. All of this pressure is a terribly haunting one.

I heard this fact (is beauty can privilege?) from other KZbin channels, they said, the fact is most people tend to overlook others. we naturally tend to watch their appearances. voices, faces, thin, fat, tall, short, etc. but I think that is just the man's outskirt specifics. it's like a baby who is firstborn from a mother, a baby can only notice her voice and touch feelings. and I think there's not a difference in others' judgment, but now a days, we have watched so much social media. and we n In thousands of past, ancient people have chosen their future husband or wife who

yes, beauty is really a privilege in some cases, not just today but also in the past. Being good-looking will help people have more job opportunities, whether receptionist or flight attendant. But when it comes to relationship, I do believe that people find a partner or make friends not just about appreance, personality and character, interests are more important. as when we are talking to each other, we can not only just look our face, our body to make a conversation, we gotta have a common in something, which makes us have a long, deep relationship.

@LEP-LearnEnglishPodcast 2 ай бұрын

Absolutely, you make a great point. While beauty can open doors in some professions, true connections in relationships are built on much more than appearance. Shared interests, personality, and character are what truly sustain long and meaningful relationships. It's about finding common ground and understanding each other on a deeper level. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 😊🌟
